I was lucky enough to see Les Paul at the Iridium in NYC not too long before he passed. When the curtains opened there was no spotlight on Les Paul yet so the stage was dark, he said “I feel like Ray Charles out here”. Was pretty funny and very special seeing him live

He says, "Hey, kid! Hey, Ace! I need you to help me get my wife's car out of this bad area."
